Madeleine Mccann Investigation

We were told to hold in one arm whilst feeding, where I think some miscommunication would be understandable.

But also as a parent you can't go through parenthood without doing something wrong. I know of someone who left a toddler in a bath to answer the door and the child drowned. My mum left me at the post office (not deliberately). We lost our 4 yo son at the woods, little ***** ran off for 2 miles back to the car without us knowing where he was.

 

Yep agree completely. Thankfully most of us get bit of luck with the slip ups and there is no damage.

 

Is it inappropriate to laugh at those two last bits. Guilty if so.

 

Nah its fine. We kind of knew he was likely to head back to the car park but stressful nonetheless. He was oblivious to our anger/anxiety. I asked a few people if they saw a small boy going the other way "about 10 minutes ago" was when I realised he'd just pissed off. It's funny to a point, but if some weirdo took him, imagine the questions about why he was a mile from us?

 

Thank you.

I feel we can of course debate the actions of leaving the children under no direct supervision through a conscious act. It is not what would do.

What prompted me to write was not only to show that parents make mistakes though but also to challenge the mistrust, dislike and sometimes downright bile, shown towards the McCanns over their demeanour which I sense feeds a good portion of the hostility towards them. I tried to demonstrate where that demeanour may stem from.

I also continue to ask for balance from some on here (not directed at you personally Happy Hornet). That they made a wrong decision but surely they don't deserve the pain and torment they, and their family, have endured because of it.

 

When my son was 1 I left him in a large paddling pool in the garden floating in one of these things you put their legs in so that I could answer the door. I was literally seconds but when I got back he was upside down because the f***ing thing had flipped over. Thank God I was quick enough that he hardly even coughed and I put a knife stright through the floaty thing. It's absolutely crystal clear in my mind even now, every step from when I saw him to when I pulled him out.

 

I don't think their stance has changed.

From what I read when this originally broke, the German police were simply working on the assumption she is dead. That's certainly the most likely situation. But it's not the same thing as saying "we know she's dead".

 

I suspect that means they are only 99.9% certain.

 

Ok my Mrs has passed on some info to me. What she said is that they're looking deeply into some online forum or discussion he was in where he has admitted to said crime of Madeleine. But tbh it's still very circumstantial evidence. Let's be honest he wouldn't be the first to take credit for a crime he didn't commit.

 

Is your wife a German policewoman?

Some people will claim all-sorts. Just look at Harry Kane.

 

Only on roleplaying nights.

 

Harry Kane is a German policewoman??

 

He'll be anything you ask him to be.
